WILL DEFEND THE GANG.
Senator Voorhees, Volunteers His Services in
the Coming Trial and They Are Accepted.

John E. Sullivan said the other day that new
counsel coming into the tally-sheet con-
spiracy trial in behalf of the defendants. He
refused to name them, but thought that the
people would be surprised when it is known
who they are. He also said that the new
attorneys as we'll as the old would perform
this serviceiwithout charging for it. Il presume
from that" remarked the reporter to whom he
talking, that the leaders of the Democratic
party propose to help you and the
rest OF the indicted through with
your trial" "Thats it." replied Sullivan. s.Some
of the attorneys who first appeared are SICK but
there will be enough without them" It now
appears as verified by Sullivan, that Senator
Voorhees, is the only whose servicesshave
been accepted on his profTering them to the de-
PENDANTS. Judge Montgomery, of the District
Court of the District of Columbia, appointed by
President Cleveland to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Judge Cartier. also offered, it is
represented, to take part in the trial. but the
defendants say he will remain in Washington.
He is a relative by marriage of Dr. Metcalf. John
S. Briggs of Sullivan, is enother who is willing
to assist but with Senator Voorhees,, Judge
McNutt, Congressman Bynum and Jason b.
Brown, the array of counsel for the defendant
is considered sufficient, especially as it will be
reinforced, probably. by Judge Rowland. who
is convaescing from serious illness. Mr.. By

whether more arrests made or not that is

pardon of Isaac Seay, convicted OF the murder

Circumstantial Evidence.

The New York World In commenting
upon the verdict in a recent murder case
states that 1t was rendered upon circum-
stantial evidence, and in mild manner in
dorses the jury's findings.
The article concludes with the statement
that the trial OF the accompllce might
"bring out additional and stronger proofs
OF the guilt of both men,"
Circumstantial evidence is usually the
best evidence where the chain is perfect
but ii would seem that there was something
lacking in this chain If the trial OF the ac-
complice is necessary to "bring out addi.
tional and stronger proof OF the guilt Of
both men," How any jury could convict
man upon circumstantial evidence which
was not absolutely perfect is something
the ordinary mind cannot conceive. 1t
may be that the man convicted was Of so
bad character that the jury was influenced
by this, but the law requires that men
shall not be convicted because of their
character, but because Of the commission
of the crime with which charged.
1t is to be hoped that the death penalty
will not be inflicted In this case even II the
additional evidence makes stronger proof
against the convict, because that evidence
was not brought out In his trial and he con-
fronted with the witnesses to exercise the
privilege allowed him by the law, Of cross.

The Vacancy in the Supreme Court.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Rich
mond Dispatch, thinks that a southern
man should be appointed to the place on
the Supreme bench made vacant by the
death of Justice Wood, in order "that
fidelity TO the principles on which this gov
ernment was founded may be assured"
There are many southern statesmen, emf
nent as jurists, sturdy Democrats as we'll,
whose nomination TO that exalted position
the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN would greet
with the most cordial favor.
But these gentlemen, we have the best OF
reasons for believing, do not accept even
in Its highest dilution the old exploded
notion touching state rights. They be
lieve, with ourselves, in local self.govern
ment. They believe that, in matters Of
purely local concern, Ignoring merely
geographical boundaries, whether found
wholly within one state, whether within
one or more states, whether within only
an Insignificant portion Of state, any re
spectacle aggregate Of The american people
may rightfully demand that they shall be
entrusted with the power to regulate and
control those objects and interests which
touch or affect only or manly themselves.
And they hold in no higher esteem the
rights Of the one hundred and sixty
thousand people who happen to be
within the state Of Delaware than those
of similar aggregate OF people
within the boundaries of the Old
Dominion. No one will assert or claim for
the citizens of Delaware l)ftler iuteli-
| gence or a more eminent fitness for eyer
cising the powers Of self government thln
belong to the mother of states ani states.
men. The people Of Delaware are an eater
| prlsiDg, thrifty people. They have fur
nished fair per centum OF our public nen.
But In these days 1t would be exquisltely
absurd to assume that their opinions or
interests or rights or anything else thai they
may be possessed of are entitled to out
weigh those Of any equal numeer OF the
body polite of this republic. We repeat,
we shall take special pleasure In announc
ing to our readers the nomination OF such @
man as we have indicated.

Catlin became Democrat. That party is

AT dinner given to Mr.. Astwood, the
colored consul to San Domingo, a few days
since in New Orleans, Mr.. L. \. Martinez,
Appointment colored man, made q spee;h,
In which, after welcoming the honorei
guest, he said that as reference had been
made to politics, he thought he should eX-
press his views. He believed the solidity
of vote was detrimental to the negro.
The race issue was paramou mt in the south;
1t subordinated all other questions, and as
long as thenegroes remained as aunt In the
Republican party there would be no serious
division of the whites. Remove the night
mare, divide the negro vote, the whites will
divide too, and the solid south will be broken.
He believed the negro should affiliate with
whatever party or follow whatever policy
that would advance the interests of his
race or secure larger measure of protec.
tion. He said, too, that the negro should
learn not to impugn the motives of his
brother who chose to differ with him, and
should not ostracise him therefor.
